This volume describes the latest tools and technologies for modeling, mapping, and predicting large-scale flood risk. It also presents readers with a range of remote sensing data sets successfully used for predicting and mapping floods at different scales. These resources can enable policymakers, public planners, and developers to plan for, and respond to, flooding with greater accuracy and effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes the latest large-scale modeling approaches, including hydrological models, 2-D flood inundation models, and global flood forecasting models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShowcases new tools and technologies such as Aqueduct, a ne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Need for Mapping, Modeling, and Predicting Flood Hazard and Risk at the Global Scale\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhilip J.
